Custom product type with custom PRODUCT_PRICE_DISCOUNT_PREFIX

[dbrewster]

Howdy.

I have successfully created my Document-Register product type, and it's working.

Here's an example, in my sandbox:
http://www.coreknowledge.org/registe...roducts_id=137

I'd like to have a custom Specials prefix.

So far:
includes/languages/english/[MY CUSTOM TPL DIR]/english.php

(it seems overrides don't work for that file, so it really resides in includes/languages/english/english.php)

  define('PRODUCT_PRICE_DISCOUNT_PREFIX','Save: ');
  define('DOCUMENT_REGISTER_PRICE_DISCOUNT_PREFIX','Early registration discount: ');

But I am puzzled where to insert that. The only place I find PRODUCT_PRICE_DISCOUNT_PREFIX called is in includes/functions/functions_prices.php by the $show_sale_discount statements.

I suppose I would insert a conditional clause in those, to test for product type, and depending on the test, use my custom discount prefix? Is there an elegant way to do this without mucking up the original functions_prices.php file?

thanks in advance!

Pertaining to your english.php folder location...

You posted this as the location
includes/languages/english/[MY CUSTOM TPL DIR]/english.php

and it should be located in:
includes/languages/[MY CUSTOM TPL DIR]/english.php

as there is a classic folder under languages you can place [MY CUSTOM TPL DIR] in this same tree. And as english.php exists directly under language your copy gets placed in [MY CUSTOM TPL DIR] that resides directly under language also.

Try this and you will be pleased.

For the rest you will have to attract a coder
